OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

Safety is a fundamental value at Garbett's Excavations, deeply embedded in our company culture. Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S) is at the heart of everything we do, influencing our planning, actions, and most critically, the delivery of our projects. Our ISO 45001: Occupational Health & Safety certification highlights the effectiveness of our health and safety strategy.

Our approach ensures strict adherence to the most current OH&S legislation, Safety Regulations, and Codes. This diligence supports our commitment to achieving zero harm to our employees, subcontractors, and the general public. Our OH&S program is based on the Integrated Management System, which includes Environmental, Occupational Health & Safety, and Quality Management procedures.

Current Accreditations:

  • Safety Management System: ISO 45001:2018

  • Quality Management System: ISO 9001:2015

  • Environmental Management System: ISO 14001:2015

Components of Our Quality Safety Management System Include:

  • Policies: These delineate our safety obligations and outline the necessary actions to meet regulatory standards.

  • Procedures: These provide the framework for implementing our system and set the minimum standards for managing critical hazards.

  • Safe Work Instructions and Standard Forms: To ensure that all tasks are performed with the highest level of safety.

  • Employee Training and Records: Essential for maintaining high safety standards and compliance across all operations.

This comprehensive safety infrastructure not only ensures the well-being of everyone involved in our projects but also enhances the overall quality and sustainability of our operations at Garbett's Excavations.
